FILE AGGREGATION METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM USING THE SAME - The performance of the analysis system is deteriorated because file content extraction processing is performed in the file aggregation server and in the analysis server and further because annotation data creation is performed in the file aggregation server. Therefore, the present invention solves the problem by providing a file aggregation server classifying files into analysis target contents, non analysis target contents, and content matched data, and providing only the analysis target contents to the analysis server. Since this method enables the analysis server to acquire the analysis target contents directly from the file aggregation server, the processing of extracting contents from the files becomes unnecessary, and the throughput of the entire analysis system is improved.
